You may generate the devices in postinst without asking the user, you
just have to depend on makedev.
About README.Debian:
| usermod -G video <username>
I'd suggest "adduser <username> video" instead, it really only _adds_
the user to the group.
The build-depends aren't strict enough dh_install in debhelper 4.0.2
does not understand -list-missing or autodest.
If you are providing are shared library and expect other programs to
link against it, you'll need to provide a shlibs-file, e.g. by using
dh_makeshlibs.
Otherwise nice first shot, afaict just from browsing the diff ;-)
